After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Pacers 123-83. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
